Well Chris, we know a few facts about the would we all inhibit. One
fact is that certain important elements and compounds are not
distributed uniformly in the universe. One of these is water,
especially D2O. Granted, water can be found on many planets, but in
small amounts and sometimes in inconvenient forms. The D2O is probably
equally rare elsewhere. The earth is nice because the water is in
great abundance and relatively pure. In addition, the climate is
hospitable.
As for staying home, you should ask why the human race does not intend
to stay home instead of going to the Moon and then Mars. I'm sure the
aliens have the same reasons.
The fact that they come from a star at least several light years away
shows that energy sources are available in nature that would allow
such travel. This is good news for the ZPE advocates. It also means
some shortcuts might be available, which is good news for the wormhole
advocates.
I imagine our technology does not interest them because by comparison
it is too primitive. Also, they do not interferer in our affairs
because to do so would make us mad and spoil their plans. As we have
seen to often happen, when the crazies are railed up, no one is safe.

Ok, if this abduction/ET stuff is real, then we must have something

why wouldn't they stay home and synthesize it? Our specific DNA,
maybe?
Second, if some of them come from distant worlds then I can see why
Greer links UFOs with free energy. We can't go much further with
space travel in that we store up the energy we need to get us to the
Moon or a planet( in the form of a rocket.)
Finally, there are a number of events suggesting that they are very
interested in - or even interfering with - our nuclear weapons.
Maybe they are smart enough to avoid "moral hazard" in regard to
preventing us from blowing ourselves up - thru deception and
confusion and concealment. I wouldn't want idiot humans to know
that I'm gonna try to intervene every time they try to "push the
button".
...........that would be too much like the government dealing with
banks!
